Summary
Andrew didn't trust anyone, life had taught him that no act of kindness was free, that people decided to ignore anything that happened around them in order not to get involved.
That was before he met that kid at the library, a guy who had "problems" written on his forehead. Andrew knew kids like that, maybe Andrew could also call himself a problem, so he tried to ignore it even after they met at school, in the same classroom.
Only, after an unfortunate event, the boy was the only one who helped him and unlike what Andrew believed, he did not ask him for anything, he did not ask or demand an answer.
This alone caused everything Andrew knew to shatter.
Maybe he's not so alone after all, maybe he could finally allow himself to trust someone without the constant fear of being rejected.
Maybe he finally had someone.
***
Andrew and Neil met before.The truth is I'm bad with summaries and I'm not very happy with this one :(, maybe I'll change it, we'll see

I had the biggest smile plastered on my face the entire time while reading this. This is one of the most accurate characterisations of Andrew I have seen in a very long time

Summary
"I'm Neil. I don't know if you remember me. You met me a year ago when I was Alex. We spent the night talking and trading truths. And then we slept together."

"Yes." Neil took a deep breath. "I know that doesn't explain why I'm here. There's another thing. I kind of... Had your kid."
Or, pro exy star Andrew Minyard has a one night stand with a no name runaway that has unexpected results.

Wow. Just wow. This was one of the best character-studies of Andrew that I've ever read. So beautiful.

Summary
"What is your name." He wouldn't care usually, but the way this kid had avoided it last time he asked, he was curious.
"I've had six so far." He answers slowly, weighing each word. "Which one do you want?"
Six names? Yep, there is something going on there.
"The real one. The one that fits you best."
"Not my birth name then?" He sounds almost hopeful?
Andrew waits until he sorts through his thoughts. He has another hour before he has to go back.
"Abram." He decides after a long pause. "It's my middle name. The only one that doesn't have to change because it can just as easily be left out."- Language:

Summary
“Proust believed in reenactment therapy,” Andrew said.
“Reenactment therapy,” Wymack repeated.
Andrew felt walls close around him. Walls he knew so well. Walls he stared at every time they strapped his limbs to the bed because Proust labeled him a ‘danger to himself.’
“Kid, look at me,” Wymack said.
The walls, Andrew remembered. When Proust did his fucking therapy, Andrew remembered the walls.
“Andrew, are you telling me he–”
“Yes.”

“Um, okay,” Nicky says. Stops. Thinks. Looks at Aaron with too much urgency, like he has to entertain him fast or he’ll disappear into thin air. “Uh—Andrew! Yes. Andrew and I are having a fight right now.”
Andrew shakes his head at Aaron. “Completely one-sided.”
“He thinks his gaydar is better than mine. Can you believe that?”
“Never said that.” But it’s probably true.
or: Nicky and the twins bond about gay shit

Summary
“Oi, Dazai. We’re here.” Chuuya reached into the car to shake Dazai’s shoulders a bit, rearranging his coat to lay over the man’s back. Dazai swayed and blinked up at him. Whatever painkillers he’d been given had stolen the sharpness from his face. Dazai looked fifteen again, wide-eyed and vulnerable.
And then he smiled. He smiled and Chuuya’s heart stuttered because it was so fucking real, so small and different from all the painted faces he wore now.
This was dangerous.
